When the pickin's get poor
« on: December 03, 2012, 11:46:08 PM »
Elk tag soup
One Elk tag, unfilled. Can be a combination of or individual archery, muzzy, modern.
Bring to a simmer in two cups of water, reduce heat and pour into appropriate glass. 
Sip while hot, and ruminate over failed elk season. 
Ive been really enjoying this dish this fall  :tup:

Im told the shelf life is pretty short. Flavor is best about 1 month after season  :chuckle:

Still working on the elk tag, deer on the other hand is still ageing  for better flavor.
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

you guys do realize that you can freeze some of these ingredients or the finished soup (i usually will combine them all at the end of season & make stew) to relish at different times of the year ( holidays ect ...)

I can throw in a Montana deer/elk combo tag.  I passed up shots on legal deer looking for a trophy but never saw a legal elk.  I saw lots of pretty wolf tracks though.
